Against the Grain is your key to the latest news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents. Our goal is to link publishers, vendors, and librarians by reporting on the issues, literature, and people that impact the world of books and journals.

Each year, ATG is pleased to release a series of video
interviews titled “Views from the Penthouse Suite.” These
interviews occur at the Charleston Library Conference, and it has
become something that we look forward to every year. Select
speakers and attendees are invited to the Penthouse Suite on the
12th floor of the Francis Marion Hotel in historic downtown
Charleston, SC, to discuss wide-ranging topics and issues of
importance to the publishing and library world. Videos of these
interviews are available on the Charleston Conference YouTube
channel and on the Conference website video page.

Today, for episode 49, we’re featuring the audio from the
interview at the 2017 Charleston Conference with Maggie
Farrell, Dean of Libraries, University Nevada, Las Vegas.
Our hosts are Tom Gilson, Associate Editor of
Against the Grain, and Albert Joy, Library
Associate Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont. Also, a
special thanks to Jared Seay, our video
engineer!
